Thanks Evilchap
Maybe I am out of range for it. I'm in Christchurch (which I'd expect to have HSDPA if NZ has it), but I can only really get 3G reception upstairs in my house. Only occasionally downstairs. Maybe if I try next time in the middle of town, I'll see an "H" symbol.
Cheers.

My Vodem works on HSDPA at about 800 - 1400 kbps although they love to quote a theoretical maximum of 3.6 Mbps...
3G reception is patchy even in Auckland.

Thanks carkitter. Good to know, cause I thought NZ just must not have it yet! Christchurch city central usually has decent 3G reception so I'll check again next time I'm there.

@M-O: Cape Town is beautiful as always. You're right, that picture re-enforces all those stereotypes foreigner have of New Zealand.
I wanted to ask you guys. What happened to Econet Wireless which was supposed to have started a GSM network in NZ after they were awarded a licence.

Third cell player is ready to roam
NZ Herald
5:00AM Thursday December 06, 2007
By Helen Twose
A third choice for mobile phone users came a step closer yesterday as Vodafone and NZ Communications announced a roaming deal.
Under the terms of the agreement, aspiring mobile operator NZ Communications -
formerly Econet Wireless - will be able to use Vodafone's 2G network in areas where it has no network coverage.
NZ Communications chairman Bill Osborne said it was a big step for the company, which has spent almost seven years getting a mobile network off the ground.
NZ Communications was formed in 2001 as a commercial partnership between Hautaki Trust, a pan-Maori trust holding a third-generation spectrum (3G) radio frequency given to it by the Government, and African-based mobile company
Econet Wireless.

Not yet. By end of the month though I hope.

Hey thats pretty cheap! I don't need one at the moment, as 1GB is enough. But I expect I will at some stage. I'll look into it then!

Hmmm... I have good news and bad news.
Bad News - My T650 fund has taken a hit
Good News - I found a V800 in excellent condition on TradeMe. It arrives soon.
Bad News - My V630i is no more. Lost it at work today. Goneburger.
Good News - More reason to get a T650 fast!
Bad News - Vodafone PhoneInsure excess is $125. They'll probably send me a K610.
Good News - My son had his eye on my V630i. Now I won't feel so bad giving him the K610.
